What is the evidence that they don’t have the required training? These DOGE employees aren’t just your random average coders. They’re some of the best and brightest analytical minds of their generation. Why should they not be able to understand the government’s computer software systems and properly analyze their data? In some ways, these employees have handled far more complex projects in the past… I think the post shown here is not really being fair or taking enough information into account before forming an opinion. I think OP *wants* to believe that anything having to do with Trump is evil, and will therefore ignore evidence to the contrary.

The DOGE Team

Here are some excerpts from an article that shares more about the team.

"Edward Coristine [19] ... is a college student at Northeastern University in Boston. He’s already interned at Musk’s Neuralink and is seen as an expert in his field. “

"Akash Bobba [21] … previously interned at Meta and Palantir, and his background in investment engineering and data analysis makes him a valuable asset in streamlining government operations.” (Akash is also Indian.)

"Ethan Shaotran [22] is the founder of Energize AI, an AI-driven startup, and a senior at Harvard University. With a background in computing and autonomous vehicles, he’s a perfect fit… ...having participated in the xAI hackathon.”

"Luke Farritor [23] is no stranger to high-pressure problem-solving. A former intern at SpaceX … Luke’s AI skills were on full display when he helped decipher ancient Vesuvius scrolls” Please allow me to add something here about that Vesuvius Challenge. Source Farritor figured out how to read these extremely fragile burnt scrolls without unrolling them. He solved a problem that experts has been puzzling over for years.

"Contestants had until the end of 2023 to decipher one of around 1,000 Herculaneum Papyri scrolls recovered from the library of the Villa dei Papyri, which was decimated by the same 79 CE eruption of Mount Vesuvius that froze the city of Pompeii in time. Discovered in the eighteenth century, the excavated scrolls have been sitting in museums and universities around Europe, unable to be touched “without them turning to ash,” Farritor said.”

“Left: the scroll read by the winners. Right: result of an attempt to physically unroll a scroll. (Vesuvius Challenge)” "Farritor explained to me that his AI program took the image of the scroll and chopped it up into “tiny bits of 100 pixels by 100 pixels. And then the machine learning algorithm looks at each one and it asks itself, do I think there’s ink here? Or do I think there’s no ink here?” By compiling these tiles, the AI program can do what was impossible only a few years ago: read the scroll.”

Moving on… (Back to our prior article.)

5. "Gautier Cole Killian [24] … brings his expertise from the high-frequency trading world, where he worked at Jump Trading. … Gautier’s background in algorithms and financial markets positions him to make big changes in how government funds are managed."

6. "Gavin Kliger [25] ... the oldest of the group, has a unique role in DOGE, having made waves by sending a controversial email that shook up the USAID staff. A graduate of Berkeley, Gavin’s no stranger to big decisions and leadership roles. His willingness to leave a seven-figure salary to join Musk’s mission underscores his dedication to reforming government systems.”

My Point

As we can see, all of these young men are quite capable. I think that many posts on Tumblr, like the ones shown in the original post above, oversimplify and misconstrue the actual facts in favor of supporting a more shocking and upsetting narrative. Please take time to review some of the information related to the claims you’re seeing. Take a little time to decide whether you actually want to incorporate a claim into your worldview. Don’t blindly accept anything.

“But these boys are too young!”

-In 1777, when Alexander Hamilton was (at most) 22 years old, "he had captured the attention of the army’s commander-in-chief, General George Washington, who gave him a position on his staff.” (Source) -In 1797, when Gauss was only 20, his "doctoral thesis of 1797 gave a proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra.” (Source) -In 1773, when Mozart was just 17, he had already composed his very famous Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K. 183 (Youtube video link if you’d like to listen).

-Évariste Galois only made it to 20 y.o., but he had already made groundbreaking contributions to mathematics by the time he died in a pistol duel in 1832. "While still in his teens, he was able to determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be solvable by radicals, thereby solving a problem that had been open for 350 years. His work laid the foundations for Galois theory and group theory, two major branches of abstract algebra.” [Wikipedia] -Ada Lovelace (1815–1852) Wrote the first algorithm intended to be processed by a machine, making her the world’s first computer programmer at the age of 25 (working with Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine).

-By the age of 25, Alexander the Great (356–323 BCE) had already conquered most of the known world, including Persia and Egypt, creating one of the largest empires in history.

-By the time he was 25, Johannes Kepler (1571–1630) had developed his laws of planetary motion, which were foundational in understanding how planets orbit the sun.

Conclusion

To quote Akash Bobba at his UC Berkeley graduation in 2021: "We live in an age where simplicity reigns supreme, where 30-second TikToks and 280-character tweets come to define our identities,” he then said. “This increasing willingness to simplify even the most complex narratives into sensational tidbits, perpetuates misinformation and in the process divides the communities, families, and relationships we cherish. What’s the solution, you might ask? Seek discomfort.”

It's a heist. Elon is the fraud. DOGE is the fraud. The coders destroying databases are the waste.

Lost my job today because DOGE shut down Americorps. We were paid $200/week as VOLUNTEERS to help out sponsor organizations, mostly the national parks, food banks, homeless shelters, and VITA (free tax preparation) sites. Dirt cheap labor for solely good causes, and shit almost nobody would be willing to do. And they axed us out of cruelty.

billionaires care about 2 things:

- money

- their lives

nothing you do will ever have a meaningful effect on their wealth. they are too big to fail.

the second one, however.

...“This is where the big money fraud is happening,” Musk tweeted on Wednesday in response to a post suggesting that aides using DOGE are searching the Medicare agency payment systems for fraud....

I drew Soldier from Team Fortress 2 as a doggo. I went with something bulldog-ish partially because of his already existing underbite.

[blackrebelphotographyclub]

Here is a list of names and emails of DOGE employees. Have fun.

[sandxhanitizer]

One of the very rare times where something is not Iron Giant or Psychonauts. What in tarnation is this?

Good question

The RED Soldier runs but hamster says “no more honey it take for you” then he teleported it. but two doges appear and kills the himself instead. taken off TF2′s Deathrun Map, Stupidity
